Responding to post
Hello everybody here! I am a fairly-new nerd when it comes to Pokémon, but I have been familiar with the franchise throughout all of my life. Only recently, upon receiving gifts from a friend on my 21st birthday, did I REALLY start getting obsessed with all things Pokémon. I have been working a lot on a project that I haven't named yet, but it's a fairly simple project; it started with me reading the Pokémon: Master Trainer board game rules and manual, as a friend of mine possesses a copy from the early 2000's and shared it with me on my birthday. As we played the game and as I read the manual to understand the game entirely, I noticed how dissimilar it really is from the REAL Pokémon games - I mean come on, set damage? No evolution? What on Earth! - so, after we played like 10 rounds and I understood the game from start to finish, my friends and I changed the rules to make the game longer and more fun. As we did this, a question continuously arose; what if we made our very own version of a Pokémon board game, which would play almost exactly like the original Nintendo games (all rulings from Gen 2, Crystal), have certain customizable elements, roleplay elements, and actual random numbers generation (including dmg calculation and catch rates)? What if we were to make something like THAT? Would that be any fun?
Well, here I am two months later. I have been working on this project a lot, taking only few breaks during production. In a sense, the game is a combination of the original Pokémon games, the Pokémon board game, with some elements of Dungeons and Dragons (character customization, character leveling, more character actions and so on). And let me say, this has been a real pain in the arse, as I have NO prior Pokémon knowledge other than sucking very bad at the original games, and generic Pokémon trivia I learned from the shows, TCG, and Pokémon: GO.
Please, if anyone is interested in this project, alert me immediately. I am looking for fanatics that know even the smallest details having to do with in-game conversions and statistics, who know the specifics of the lore that aren't readily available on the internet, and who are eager to see the creation of this thing!
I have tons of work that still needs to be done, and tons of questions that need answering!
Thanks,
Trainer Walker

A base catch rate of 3 is equal to a legendary, so you could substitute a legendary in the calculator for that.
nice crobat is a cool pokemon
Where are some glitch pokemon that have a corrupted catch rate? Like 'M, with a base catch rate of 3?
day of typhlosion and reign of victini :3
That one's mostly just my personal playstyle showing, haha - I never run from battles so it rarely even occurs to me!
Considering the bunch of updates to my Pokémon website since she was born including featured sections on every page, a bunch of technical upgrades and tinkering, an April Fools' Day joke, several days in a row of Favorite Pokémon Picker stuff and a game mechanics geekery article involving assembly analysis, I would say I've had some time for my hobbies :P Other things I've been doing include 100%ing Legends: Z-A, playing various other games and watching some shows, a bunch of programming for my friends' intricate forum RPG, and working on an Ace Attorney fanfic.
Kids do cost money, but we didn't go for it until we were in a pretty good financial situation, so all in all we're not feeling the expenses too much.
Being a parent of an infant is overall a lot like being a pet owner except the pet can smile and laugh and tries to imitate and communicate with you a lot more. You still need to deal with them pooping and being a bit gross and needy but overall Caterpie is pretty charming and easy to deal with and in a good mood 95% of the time which is a lot better than I anticipated.
You mention to bring a high level Pokemon with lots of PP to move through the trees quickly. But can't I just run away from encounters I don't want? I've been doing two laps - one to encounter at every tree and another to reslather. If I'm running from every encounter, does that put me into the same column? Thanks so much for all of your hard work on this!
How is being a parent? Do you still have free time for hobbies? And is it expensive?
Caterpie is doing well! She is ten months old and starting to learn to walk. We don't have much in the way of plans for her future; it depends what she turns out to be interested in and what she wants to do.
How's Caterpee doing. Any plans for her in the future?
Eu quero ver meu pokémon favorito
